Death and Legacy
In 1930, Jones died. His relatives tried to keep the zoo open, but failed and closed it and sold most of the animals to the Como Zoo by 1936. His son, Roy Jones, built a barge and gathered the remaining animals to create a floating zoo on the Mississippi River. He was not heard from again after he left Minnesota. Jones's house still stands as an interpretive center run by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board.
